Leonard Floyd's concussions were caused by head down tackling, which he has been working on avoiding. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0731-story.html

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 11:29 PM) The Sox are habitual chokers and it even happened in our world series year. Our best season in the last 100 years resulted in us nearly blowing a 15 game lead in August. Then, we followed up the next season with another collapse. Like I've been saying all day, if this team can put together 2 solid seasons in a row their fortunes will change. But we just can't seem to do that. If this rebuild goes well attendance wont be a problem for 10 years. There is always an excuse with Sox fans. In first place in mid-September, but they always choke, so nobody could be bothered to cheer them on. It's like Randy Quaid in Major League. Meanwhile, a month earlier I was at Wrigley. The Cubs were in the midst of a 101 loss season, yet fans were still cheering and paying attention on full counts and with 2-strikes/2-outs. I guess they are just stupid.

I'm all for the high draft pick, but if you can't get excited over a bunch of young players in White Sox jerseys having fun after a big comeback, I can't help you there. The losses are gonna come people, just look at the roster.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 10:52 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan Willy Garcia was KOd but "I feel much better now." Wasn't aware of what happened until he saw video of collision with Moncada If he doesn't go on the 7-day concussion DL, then what's the point of having it?

Todd Ritchie or James Shields?

Sorry Gio. Nationals are so losing this game now

Darwin Barney with the strong .569 OPS

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) What happened, watching Gio The Morales single was a soft blooper over his head. It just seemed like he immediately decided he had no chance, looked like he could have made a play at it.

There is the lazy Anderson I keep hearing about. Edit: lazy, Damn auto correct

The Dodgers playoff choke job is gonna be even more epic this season

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) They ran out of gas. Sale was on empty. Youk's back could take no more. It was fun while it lasted. Totally, but my comment was directed at the fans. Whether or not the team was running on fumes, there was zero excitement in that ball park, other than the Tigers fans. The Sox were in still first place and it felt like a September 2016 game. I have looked at the fanbase differently since then.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) It's pretty funny the same fan base that stayed away in 2012 because they "knew" the team would collapse in the end, is the same one claiming this trade cost them a division in 1997. That early September series vs. Detroit was one of the most sobering ones I had been to. First place team with Detroit on their heels and coming to town, you could hear a pin drop most of the game. That is, when the Tigers fans weren't making noise.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) The fanbases that show up even when things are bad versus the ones that completely dessert a franchise makes a huge difference in the resources a franchise has. It is the reason that places like Cleveland stay bad so much longer than others. We all love to laugh at Cleveland, but I don't think they are the best example to use here. They supported their team better than anyone else with the league's longest sellout streak. Then management refused to shell out enough resources to keep the best players, and the product on the field diminished. The fanbase basically said, "f*** it, if you aren't gonna spend they money, then why should we?"

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) I repeat: the American league champions draw over 1000 per game more than the last place sox. And that is after play By MORE home dates. Sox are doing just fine. The South Side of Chicago: "Hey, at least it's not Cleveland!"

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 08:21 AM) I'm pretty sure at this point the only players who make more than Holland on the White Sox are Shields and Abreu. Lucky guess by $100k, ha. Holland is at $6, MiGo is at $5.9. Then Clippard is the only other player making 7 figures.

Here's to guys who actually look like they are having fun playing baseball for a living

The Ravens are thinking about signing Kaepernick, but are meeting with fan groups and sponsors first to discuss it. And Ray Lewis. Because you know, manslaughter is fine, but kneeling during a song is unacceptable.
